I've seen "suboffice" in ProZ but don't like the term much here because it seems to imply a physical extension of an office to a different location, whereas subchefia is referring to a hierarchical level one below the "casa civil" - chief of staff's office

The term was "subchefia" not "subchefe," so this actually wouldn't be correct; however, deputy chief is a good translation for the person heading a "subchefia" according to my research as well, so you win the points. Thanks to all for the suggestions.4 KudoZ points were awarded for this answer
